IL will be observed that the cost OF pro-
duction is larger in Connecticut, Massa-
Chusetts, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina
than in any of the other states, and the
profits are larger than elsewhere. The
reason for this is found in the class OF
tobaccos cultivated in those states, the
manner Of cultivation, and the cost OF
labor.
The tobacco raised in the three tlrs. men
toned Is used almost exclusively for
cigars, the wages Of farm laborers are
much higher than IN the toblcco raising
states Of the south, the methods Of Guilt
walton are necessarily different, and the
crops Of tobacco bear but small proper.
ton to the other productions OF the states,
In Connecticut only one-half per cent OF
the improved land is cultivated in tobacco,
in Massachusetts one-sixth, In Pennsylvania
ore-fflh, whilst in North Carolina nearly
one per cent, in Virginia one aud three
quarter per cent, aud In Kentucky over
twoper cent of the improved lands are In
tobacco.
In considering the relation Of the tob ,cco
crop to the people Of their states, Other
questions must be examined or tue relative
values OF the crops cannos be arrived at,
The agricultural, manufacturing, AMI
mining products must all be conslsrs l.
and we give the figures as to each of these
states, which are as follows; Connectiiut
manufacturing product, $ls5,0O0 600; agrl-
cultural, $lS,0OOOO0. This makes the
value OF the tobacco crop represent eleven
per cent. Of the agricultural product,
and seven eighths of one per cent
of the entire state production, MaSsI-
chuset,s manufactures, $G3l 100000; agr-
culture, $2I,OOO,OOO; value of tobacco crop,

SG5,OOO,OOO; agriculture, $4,000, 900; value
of tobacco crop, 8! per cent. OF agricultural

Schuyler Colflx was the author of the
degree of kebekah, His connection with
the Order of Odd Fellows began Msr?h %,
1876, when he applied for admission and
was afterward initiated into South Bend
(lnd.) Lodge, No. 20, and Joined the En-
campment branch of the order soon after.
In September, 1851, he wrote from Balt-

hours a day, and during every moment of

when Its opponents were certain of victory,

ColfaX conferred the degree OF Rebekah
upon thousands, and In Dashaway Hall, at
San Francisco, In 1865, he conferred the de-

The Interstate Railway Commission

The Interstate Railway Commission
1t is said that the railway companies of
the country are to unite In testing the con-
stitutionality OF the interstate law; and
that an effort will be made to show that
the commission Is not legal body, never
having been confirmed by the Senate The
railroads would naturally be contentei, IL
they caanot prove the "lnterstate com
merce billn unconstitutional, with establish
ing the illegallty OF the commission.
There is no one who questions the right
Of the President to fill vacancy that oc
ours during the time when the Senate Is not
in session. But the law which authorizes
such appointment does not apply to the
appointment Of the interstate railway com
mlssloners, and there are serious doubts in
the minds of many lawyers whether the
gentlemen acting as commissioners arc
legally so until confirmed by the Senate.
The "act to regulate commerce." uuder
the eleventh section of which these gentle
men hold office, was approved by the Presi-
dent and became law on the 4th OF Feb
ruary, 1887, and Congress did not adjourn
until the 4th OF March, one moath later.
The law says the commissioners "shall be
appointed by the President, by and with
the ADVICE and consent of the Senate" As
the Senate was in session for thirty days
after the act became law, the President
had ample opportunity to comply with the
strict letter of the enactment, ani his fail.
ure to do so may create great embirriss-
mpnt

other states. The value Of manufactures
produced in Kentucky Is So, 100000, from
mines, Si,0O0000; agriculture, $4,000, ,0O);
the tobacco represents Is per cent of the
agricultural product Of the state, or 81 per
cent. Of the whole. North Carolina gives
only 2i,OOO,OOO worth OF manufactures
aud $50, 100000 Of agricultural products;
the value OF the tobacco being y per cent.
Of the agricultural, aud over 5 per cent. OF
the whole. Virginia gives 352,OO0,0)0
manufactures, and siG,O0O,OOO of agrlcul.
tural products the tobacco is l2 per cent.
Of agricultural and 81 per cont. of the
whole production Of the state.
These figures show why the tax should
be repealed on the crop which represents so
large part of the entire production OF the
state--and why II bears so much more
hardly on the people of the last named
states.

q a Rabbit Runs AionGa a Railroad Track
in Company With q snake.

lBaxley (GaJ Banner.l
While walking along the railroad, from
rustllng In the bushes, my attention was
directed to the spot, when, to my surprise,
saw large king snake running along
rapidly, and just behind was full grown
rabbit following the snake, apparently with
out fear. The rabbit would stop until the
snake would get five or six feet In advance
and then would move up by the side of the
snake and stop. The snake was moving 10
the direction Of where | was standing, and
when in about six feet the snake discovered
me and stopped. The rabbit ran on imme-
diately In front OF the snake without taking
notice Of my presence and then stopped,
The snake placed himself In striking po
sition, and both remained quiet for a time.
Finally drew my stick TO hit the rabbit; 1t
discovered me and ran of. The rabbit
looked upon me as an enemy, or friend
and delivorer, or perhaps It's instinct taught
him that the snake was Its destroyer and
was so charmed that II could not resist the
magnetic influence until there was me.

WILLIAM A. WHEELER, formerly Vice
President of the United States, was buried
at his home in northern New York yester-
day. His death was not unexpected, for
he has been in declining health for many
months. Since his retirement from Office
in 1881, at the close Of his term as Vice
President, he has been an invalid, taken
little part in public affairs, and lived very
quietly at home. Mr.. Wheeler was for
many years a member of Congress from
New York, and was one OF the influential
men Of his party in that state. His strength
was in council, for he was man OF sound
judgment and broad understanding, but
was not brilliant or aggressive leader. lie
was much esteemed for his private virtues
and personal worth. aud was warmly be-
loved by the people of his own vicinity for
the many admirable traits of generous
and highminded character.

NEW NATIONAL THEATFR.

An overorowdcd house greeted the first rrp-
resentatiou OF summer opera az this theater;
the greeting was, however, rather chilly In the
first two acts, but warmed up a little toward
the close. The reason for this would b.
difficult to discover or determine. for
better aggregation of talent has not
given "Nanon" in this city for many
long day. The smoothness with which
1t was presented was a remarkable feature In
first nights performance. Miss Clara Lane
as Nanon was very pleasing trie nervous ay
the outset, but gradually took strong hold On
her part (the heaviest soubrette character ou
the stage), aud then on the affections of the
audience, and when the curtain fell at the
finale she was u universal iavorite. There
were two interpolated songs-"The Nightiu.
gale" sung by Miss Helen Won DonhOG
Nnon), and The Golden Moon," from the
LILLY. OF Ieoyille,n orchestratcd by Sonsa aud
the extreme, were magnlilcGntly rendered, and
deserved all the applause that any audience
could give. The "StoIen Song" sung by
Greensielder, captured the heaviest approbi.
tiOn expressed by the crowd The
"WGitz song" Qhe theme of the opera,
sung by Pruettc, was enthusiastically en-
cofed. Harry Standish. as Marquis de NJ ir-
sillac, took very well indeed. There was q
general high level of operate work visible
throughout the entire representation. The
chorus was solid, well drilled, and satisfactory,

The IlIteen Days' Leave Imperative.
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLIcAs; There
was great rejoicing at the government
printing Office when Congress passed a law
granting employees fifteen days vacation
with pay, but II has turned out great dis
appointment to large number. Tue
public printer has II in his power TO deprive
any one he pleases OF It's benefits dnan-
cially; he has simply to furlough him or her
for an equal time. He has already cut Oft
q large portion Of that drain upon the ap-
prOpnatio'i for the government printing
office by discharges, as the old hands who
were discharged and have been relustated
are placed on the same footing with the
host Of new recruits who have to wait one
year before they are eligible to the vacation.
AS the law evidently was not intended to
be confined IN its operation TO few who
may have the good luck TO be specially
favored, would II not be more conslderate,
as well as Just and equitable, In the public
printer to use his power and cut the vaca-
tion boon for the present year from the re-
naming portion OF the iorce by dischar9-
Ing them one day and relnstating them the
next. A LOCKER OK.
